Speeches by Coleman.

“Now will he give way?”

“Will the right hon. Gentleman give way?”

“10. What steps his Department is taking to ensure that disabled people are able to try work without automatically triggering a benefits reassessment.”

“I thank the Minister for that positive answer. Could he reassure my disabled constituents under the age of 22, many of whom are in education and low-paid work, that they will not lose their universal credit health payments? This financial support is vital to helping young disabled people, because they face the greatest…”

“As my hon. Friend will know, my constituency neighbours his. In my constituency, the North End Road area of Fulham is a designated gambling vulnerability zone and has been identified as such by the council. It borders the Clem Attlee and West Kensington estates, which are both in the bottom deciles nationally for depri…”

“I thank the Minister for being so responsive to the concerns about strategic licensing that I and colleagues in London have shared with her. May I confirm that it is not the Government’s intention for an application to be treated as being of potential strategic importance solely by reason of its location within a Londo…”

“I am most grateful to my hon. and learned Friend for calling this important debate. I am also very grateful to my constituent Louise Thompson for having the guts and the decency to parlay what was an absolutely horrible experience into a determination to make life better for women across this country and improve matern…”

“Paulette has the pleasure of rounding off the session. What I really want to talk about are the lessons from PFI and where we go from here. We are talking about delivering neighbourhood infrastructure. What are the specific lessons that we need to learn from PFI?”

“We are just going to confer among ourselves to give you more time to think about the question.”

“Yes, you can. I have enjoyed reading your report.”

“Thank you, that is helpful. Mr White, would you like to comment on that?”

“To begin, what is the difference between PFI and PPP?”

“I would like to interrupt you. We are discussing the benefits of the neighbourhood approach. What is it that makes you think that there is a danger of the financing tail wagging the public policy dog, to use your analogy? What makes you think there is an actual danger of that?”

“What has happened here that makes you think that?”

“You are saying PFI was one form of PPP. How would you categorise that? How is it different from all the others?”

“Am I asking the wrong question?”

“You said it is one form. One form of what? Can you say in one sentence?”

“That is very helpful. I would like to come back on some of those. I just want to get other witnesses’ views as well on what the key learnings from PFI are.”

“You have done a lot of work in this area, obviously. What do you think are the most important lessons from PFI when it comes to designing PPPs to deliver the neighbourhood health scheme infrastructure that we have been talking about?”

“I am going to put words in your mouth, and they may be the wrong ones. We used a procurement model that said we can get money for this, and therefore we should do that, because it is easier to get money for this than to do something else. Is that what we did, or am I misunderstanding what you are saying?”
